Ruby's Very First...

...SNOW QUEEN!

Granted, she's not that fancy if you're talkin' REAL QUEEN.
BUT, since we're talkin' SNOW QUEEN,
THIS GIRL ROCKS!

We had such a good time making her!
Ruby named her Frosty,
appropriately enough,
and was THRILLED to use
hazelnuts for her eyes,
a little nubbin of a carrot for a nose,
and since we couldn't find sticks,
two of Nannie's kitchen utensils stood in for arms!
(& FYI: that's Ruby's special 'MARY HAT' on her head!)
When our work was down, Ruby stood back, surveyed the results, and said:
"Momma, wanna go inna house, is cowld out here!"

Now, it's raining & all that glorious snow is slowly melting away sadly.
All that means for me is that the morning commute more than likely
brings with it solid sheets of ICE EVERYWHERE,
as far as the paranoid driver can see.

GOOD TIMES!
